Do you think it's rude to correct another's grammar?

for about five minutes, i thought...honestly thought, that we were having an intelligent online conversation and even, with the exception of me disagreeing with laurends one point, thought that otherwise we were agreeing on the observation for the most part.

i wasnt speaking about you. If you see yourselves in the post, i cant help that, but i wont antagonize it. You are obviously flamed. ill unsubscribe.

Yeah, so did I. Until you implied that anyone who likes to debate in this forum also likes to torture small animals. You also did it in your last post to me. "Leave the small animals alone" ring any bells? It's offensive, and don't even try to pretend that you didn't mean it that way.

I probably shouldn't put my two cents in but I am so sad for the three of you. I have loved reading posts from all 3 of you on and off the RNR area. You are all AMAZING women and have much to offer.

I wish it hadn't come to this for you three. Take a step back, block each other if you must, but please don't let this continue to grow to the point one or more of you end up leaving this website.

I would miss everyone of you. Each of you have been of personal help to me at one time or the other wether you ever knew it or not.

I believe you are unaware that I have never done anything to Lizrbit. She attacked me a long time ago out of nowhere for no reason. I had no idea what was up. I PMd her asking what I had done to her and the response was about the same as her behaviors on this board. Hostility, anger, she hated me, blah blah blah. I never posted/PM'ed her again until yesterday in response to more insults that once again... came out of the blue.

I explained much earlier in another thread; I am through with it and honestly, with ALL due, sincere, respect... bringing it up repeatedly isn't going to help the matter. It needs to drop.

This is what you posted in response to my question asking why you believed that religion and science were one and the same:

Can anyone else see where I was coming from when I asked for clarification and for her to put those subjects in a full sentence?

Hi laurend - I wouldn't have had a clue what she meant...

Hi Ghost!

thank you for your thoughtful post. i wish it wasnt this way either.

I have blocked them and contacted the board with my problem, three times now, i dont think the admins of the board will do anything, but just blocking them has given me a bit of relief. i did unsubscribe from this and a few other threads id been in on so as not to be a target, and hopefully the thing would just go away. Wasabubblebutt keeps following me from thread to thread which can be very annoying, but at least now im not burdened by the posts, i just see THAT shes posted, and not what shes posted. it is a relief.

im sorry that everyone else sees whats happening, its embarrassing, but i suspect she knows that and is why she keeps posting on threads where its come up.

She knows i have her blocked, so her posts are for you all's benifet.

Please forgive the misspells. I hope this whole thing goes away soon.

this is kinda what i was talking about in my original post. WHY do people do this to each other online? If she followed me around like this in person, at the most she would be arrested, the least i could at least file a restraining order and shed have to leave me alone...but online its okay?

its a mess. Again, im sorry for my part in it. I have them blocked and im hoping it will pass.

To be honest, I have no idea what's going on. I've never initiated contact with Lizrbit at all. Never PMed her, never stalked her, never harassed her. Never. She's publically accused me of stalking and harassing her, and I've never even talked to the woman off of the board, not even through PM. I've only ever replied to posts she's made to me (or at least, seem to be made to me). The first time I ever even conversed with her is because she appeared in a thread from out of the blue and made baiting comments that were clearly directed towards me. The reason the mods haven't done anything when she's complained to them is because I have never done anything to her. It's all in her mind, and they know that. Hell, the woman's publically made comments about me and WASa torturing small animals, and I don't know why. I could count the times I've talked to her in the entire year that I've been on the board on the fingers of one hand, I think. I honestly don't know where she's getting her little feud from, but she's the only one feuding.

I wish she'd get over whatever it is, but I'm not about to avoid threads just because she happens to post in them. Her problems are her problems, not mine. Hell, the last few theads? Between her and me, I was the first to post in them. I have a lot more grounds to complain of her following me from thread to thread than she does.

Thanks. To me, the comment wasn't complaining about her grammar so much as complaining about the non-answer.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
